Description
Currently blob download successes/failures are not tracked and there is no optimization based on download speed between stream downloads. There should be a connection manager to track these attributes, and to limit and balance the number of active connections. Additionally, this class should track the local connection status (disconnecting and reconnecting running servers with the connection going up/down) and provide timeouts (dht rpc, blob download, tcp connect) based on the quality and speed of the local connection.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing blob download, DHT RPC, and TCP connection entry points. Identify where download outcomes, active connections, local connection changes, and current timeout handling are represented. Done would require an agreed connection manager design covering balancing, status changes, and adaptive timeouts, but the issue does not name files or tests.
